Posted by aubin on Tuesday, July 13, 2010 at 12:30 PM (EDT)

Drummer Dave Hidalgo Jr. of Suicidal Tendencies, Spinerette and The Drips has announced that he has joined Social Distortion. Dave replaces Scott Reeder of Fu Manchu who filled in for Atom Willard when he left in March. Reeder performed with the band on their recent tour of South America but will apparently be returning to his main gig in Fu Manchu when they resume touring late next month.

Social Distortion has a busy touring schedule lined up for the coming months. First, the band will spend July and August with Dan Sartain and the Action Design and then will kick off a Fall tour with Lucero and Frank Turner. The band is currently working on their Epitaph Records debut and first full length since 2004's Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll.

You know, several, you know, dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It's just not really widely reported.

Wikipedia lists 7 former drummers. Social D must be gunning for the Chili Peppers guitarist slot for most former members ever.

As much as I love SD, they're actually a pretty boring band to drum with. Willard was kinda wasted with them.

3 drummers in nearly as many months. Stability.

Dave is a really amazing drummer. Good for him! He used to be in a kick ass band called Los Villians. Seek them out, they rule.

and his Dad is the lead singer of Los Lobos.

What the hell are you guys talking about "boring drumming"? When i saw them in 95 with Charlie Quintana.It was the best drumming performance i've ever heard/seen.I don't know about these new guys but Chuck and Charlie sounded awesome in Social D.A great drummer will never make the skins in a song sound boring.Social D is not about showing off and instrument solos.They pound out their tunes with accuracy and tightness as a unit.
